Home kit showed faint positive so im going to the doctor tomorrow. Just wondering what test they actually do there, is it the same pee test or blood test? want to be mentally prepared.
Oh I learned this recently, after my home test the doctor took a blood sample and that confirmed it properly. She said it shows the hormone level too. Then scan came a few weeks later.
My doctor did a blood test called beta hCG, its more accurate and even tells the level. Plus they confirm with an early ultrasound once enough weeks pass. The home urine kit is just the first step, blood test is what they rely on.
Same urine kit at home, but at clinic they usually go for a blood beta hCG test and then a scan to confirm. The blood one is reliable and shows actual numbers. Thats how both my pregnancies got confirmed.
Doctors generally use a blood hCG test, its quantitative so more precise than the strip. Then an ultrasound confirms everything is in place. So if ur home test is positive, the next step at the clinic is usually blood test plus scan.
